RESEARCH
PHILOSOPHY
: My philosophy is that research and service must provide the linkage that enables managers to base decisions for sustainable land use on the principles of ecosystem function. I have used four key elements to enhance this linkage: a systems research program, resource accounting, long-term assessment and partnering with rancher clientele. My goal is to use a systems approach in developing land and livestock management practices that sustain natural rangeland resources and the people depending on the land.

JOB TASKS:
  • Develop a knowledge base to objectively assess inputs needed to sustain economically viable ranching strategies while assessing environmental costs.
  • Incorporate knowledge into a decision support system to enhance ranch management decisions.
